Our Profile Book .....

As I am sitting here in the quiet of my house listening to the sound of the rain/sleet falling outside I am filled with peace. We found out yesterday our home study date has been pushed back until after Christmas. Two years ago I would have been heart broken, but I am not. I have such a surprising peace. This whole journey we have been praying we would meet our son/daughter in God's perfect timing -and so we will wait with peace. We will enjoy the holidays as a family of three for hopefully the last time :) We will use this time to focus on fundraising as there is still a large amount we must raise. We will wait patiently ( or try to ) and know that the Lord is still preparing our hearts, the hearts of the birth parents, and still shaping and forming our son or daughter.

   Our Profile Book as arrived :)
 This is what the birth parents will use to choose us or to set up a meeting with us depending on how much openness they desire. Words cannot express how difficult it was to create this book. Trying to include every aspect of what you desire the birth parents to know about you in just 20 short pages. Desiring them to know you already love their child, but not wanting to turn them away from too much to read. Try portraying everything your family stands for in 20 short pages is insane. I have lost count on how many times I went back and changed out pictures or text. I finally just had to order it and be done. To stop obsessing on trying to make it perfect.  I am excited to share it with you. Excited to invite you to view our family through the eyes of a birth family. One day this little book will be given to our son or daughter to help them see what their parents looked at to choose us. To create a discussion on why they may have chosen us. This little book is so special to me. It is the first time our son or daughters birth mom (and) dad will lay eyes on us. It is through this encounter that we pray they have an overwhelming peace that the Lord has created that small child for our family. A peace for the first time that their child will be loved and cherished. We pray through this time they will experience hope in a time that may feel hopeless.
  Enjoy ....
